Same passport for visiting all of Africa?

Same passport for visiting all of Africa? - Free stock photo of adult, architecture, battle

So tonight I was catching up with a well-traveled friend who was visiting Melbourne. A few years back they did an overlanding tour in Africa, and was told for the tour that if you had multiple passports, you had to choose just one to use for all of Africa.

Now my understanding is that you must enter and exit a country with the same passport, but outside of that, no country usually cares what you used for another country.

Has anyone seen or heard any evidence for this (ie you have to use one passport for all of Africa) or was it perhaps just a convenient device for the tour company to say so as only to deal with one passport per person?
